Dr. Ben Carson THRASHES both Ted Cruz and Scott Walker in Saturday Oklahoma (Bible Belt) Straw Poll Victory at the "Southern Republican Leadership Conference".

Ben Carson's Oklahoma Straw Poll Victory a CHALLENGE for ALL Ted Cruz State Campaigns (especially Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida)!



How in the world did Ben Carson (with extremely limited funding) DEFEAT the Ted Cruz Campaign (a $ 30 million national campaign) ?

"Team Work" ... across the state borders of Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Louisiana ... and ... hmmmm ... and EVEN Oklahoma).

Dr. Ben Carson's laser-focused TEAM of regional state supporters won the political battle.


Although I decisively support Senator Ted Cruz, I admire Doctor Ben Carson, and would recommend that all view his movie "Gifted Hands" (Netflix).

And just as Gen. George Patton Jr. admired German Gen. Erwin Rommel, I am "compelled" to respect the excellent teamwork and "command execution" demonstrated in Ben Carson's Oklahoma victory.


We'll examine the HARD LESSONS for the Ted Cruz State-level "Grassroots" Campaigns in a moment. First, let's review the "hard numbers" of political victory and defeat.


Straw Poll Results:

Ben Carson: 25.4 %
Scott Walker: 20.5 %
Ted Cruz: 16.6 %
Chris Christie: 5.3 %
Rick Perry: 5.0 %
Jeb Bush: 4.9 %
Rand Paul: 4.1 %
Marco Rubio: 4.1 %
Bobby Jindal: 4.1 %
Carly Fiorina: 2.7 %
Mike Huckabee: 2.7 %
Rick Santorum: 1.9 %
Donald Trump: 1.2 %
Mark Everson: 0.8 %
Lindsey Graham: 0.5 %


=======================================


The (otherwise excellent) network of Ted Cruz FACEBOOK pages illustrates the root cause behind Ben Carson's political victory in Oklahoma.

There are at least three (3) Facebook Page Group "executive leaders" essentially involved in a Hatfield-McCoy blood feud.

The result ?

Ted Cruz ($ 30 million) gets "thrashed" in Oklahoma by Ben Carson (a pauper).

These Facebook personal rivalries DAMAGE the Ted Cruz National Campaign.

Time and Energy are WASTED on "logo disputes" and poisonous "vindictive" e-mails between leaders ...

that otherwise could have been directed to WINNING a VICTORY for Ted Cruz in Oklahoma.

FUTURE Ted Cruz Campaign Defeats ?

How many more State Straw Polls (reported on Drudge, Fox, ABC-NBC-CBS-CNN-NPR, AP-UPI, Bloomberg) will Ted Cruz LOSE because these Facebook "Leaders" REFUSE to FOCUS on a Ted Cruz Victory ?



Let's focus on FLORIDA for a moment.

Florida is a MUST WIN State for the U.S. Presidential Election.

The Florida GOP will hold a Straw Poll Vote in Orlando on Sept-24/26 (see Facebook RSVP below).

Will the "continuing" FLORIDA Facebook / Personal Rivalries COST Ted Cruz the victory in that STRATEGIC Florida Straw Poll vote ?



RSVP "Today" at https://www.facebook.com/events/391338851058991/



So ... where do we go from here ?


All Ted Cruz State Facebook Pages should MERGE into a single Page. Period.

Common sense suggested that Group "A" operates EAST of the Mississippi and Group "B" operates WEST of the Mississippi.

And that Groups "A" and "B" work TOGETHER.

The ability of these Facebook "Ted Cruz Leaders" is a CHARACTER TEST ... with an answer demanded NOW.

Today.

Sanders’ opposition is a diversionary tactic. Looks to me to be very similar to how Sinn Féin in Ireland nominally opposed European Union membership for Ireland. Sanders is not going to actually oppose something that is mentioned in, and furthers, the communist goals for the USA that are outlined in Skousen’s book.

[nopardons]

How do I know ? You don't know either!

So you'll give up on him for that, will ya?

So WHO will you support now......Paul, Carson, Walker, Jebbie?

[Olog-hai]

For someone to have an “anti-Cruz agenda” would mean to be for some other candidate who is openly liberal GOP-e.

I don’t like it when Cruz himself seemingly displays an “anti-Cruz agenda”, even though thus far he possesses the highest rating in terms of conservative record; it only takes one big action on behalf of leftism to undermine the whole thing.

[nopardons]

There’s STILL Apartheid in RSA; the reverse kind and it’s faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar worse than any white rule EVER was!

[bimboeruption]

I only know what others who have seen the bill told us because We The People were not allowed to read it. It was hidden behind lock and key.

Just that fact alone tells me it’s bad for us.

And why would Cruz, whom I thought was for transparency and openness, even vote on a SECRET bill?

[bert]

Governments always have secrets and allways will.

The secrecy is to prevent the information from reaching those that might use it against us. The great unwashed masses cry for information they can’t really use.

[alstewartfan]

His sticker will remain on my car, for now. But I am sick of these “deals” and all the freakin’ secrecy. Bob

[erlayman]

The biggest reason being Carson showed his interest by actually showing up and speaking to conference goers twice as well as being extremely organized. It isn’t like Cruz came in a well placed second anyway.

[SaxxonWoods]

These bitching people never vote. They are looking for that which doesn’t exist, perfection.

Ignore them.

[Olog-hai]

The kind of “secrets” a left-wing government has must always be brought into the light, bottom line. It’s enough to know that Obama wants this.

[Olog-hai]

That’s correct. The “anti-apartheid” lying communist ANC merely wanted to impose its own brand of apartheid, and worse.

[nopardons]

What's with the STUPID "BOB" thing at the end of your and others posts?

The HOUSE still has to vote on that thing and I doubt that they'll pass it.

Reagan said that he'd accept someone who agreed with him 80% of the time. Think on that!

[bimboeruption]

FIVE Republicans voted NO: Collins, Lee, Paul, Sessions, Shelby.

Enzi didn’t vote.

[Olog-hai]

The cry of the GOP-e, that was, last few elections.

[rrrod]

You know Im for Cruz..still working on getting a caravan together for the Tampa Cruz event. At this time Ive got about 5 from Broward county...thats just from calling my friends. perhaps the Broward Tea party can get involved too.

But this straw poll is nothing...straw polls hold the headlines for a minute but dont count for anything.

Florida will be a test for sure. If Bush drops out by the time of the primaries then more than likely Rubio will take Florida. Florida is a winner take all state as you know. Its early and anything can happen.
keep up the good work.

Cruz - trade deal reasons

[conservativejoy]

Paul admitted he didn’t know what was in the bill and might later support it. Since it has been available to legislators since 2012, I wonder why he hasn’t looked at it?

[TNMOUTH]

Well, you are a person with an agenda. Who else is more solid than Cruz?

Admittedly, you don’t know what is in the bill...you are a drama queen like everyone else who says “oh no....one vote and now I can’t support this man”.

I support Cruz because one vote doesn’t negate his whole resume of work.

[hosepipe]

Well, WHY did Cruz support Maobama on this? It seems to me that Ted is starting to listen to the forces in Washington already. His explanation sucked.

---

Maybe he got a visit from the black suits saying..

“You got a couple beautiful daughters.. be a shame if (something) happened to them”...

Happy Campaigning..

OBAMA OWNS the Fbi, CIA, NSA, IRS, Justice Dept, all military security, homeland security, all the Unions, most journalism outlets, Boehner, McConnell, probably the Supremes, and other forces yet to be discovered...
